People don't know Kong Fu. They know how to use Kong Fu.

我會打功夫.
我会打功夫。

I believe it's more appropriate to say it like that.

Yeah, I think that's better too.

It's kind of like saying: "I know drums" but better to say "I know how to play the drums."

speak Chinese fluently but I'm perplexed by this.

Yesterday someone asked what what does the word "就是" mean? I know what it means but is there an english equivalent of this word?

I love NJStar.
Even though you're a fluent Chinese speaker, I'm just gunna clarify this by making 2 sentences:
就是 using the meaning "quite right": 那不就是最好的方法嗎?
就是 using the meaning "even if": 就是我不成功，我還是一個人啊！
